I'm looking for open source libarary that I can use to enable users of my site to open any page (perhaps in an iframe) and allow them to select an html element from it just like firebug allows. It should be done in a website (no by a browser plugin). Any idea where to begin? Thanks! ...
Sorry, new to Firebug. I really find being able to run javascript in the Firebug console window helpful. However, I don't seem to be able to run jQuery calls in the console. For example, in my executing javascript in my page, I may make the call to get a value: jQuery('#an_element_value').text() However, I cannot execute this in...
Does anyone have a snippet to load jquery onto any page from firebug? I often come across sites that I would prefer to inspect using familiar jq syntax. For example, say I want to extract a list of prices from a page - it would be nice to launch firebug, install jquery from the google CDN, and type $('li.prices').each(...). ...
Hi All, I have jQuery, FireFox, Firebug, IE, and IE developer toolbar. When I am examing a page with either FireBug or IE Dev toolbar, I am able to click on an element and it shows me in the dom where the element is etc... Is there anyway to transform that selection into a valid jQuery selector? I know I can use ID, classes, and element ...
Is there any other tool better than Firebug on any other browsers? free or commercial? or any other similar tool which has any single or multiple function which can be useful along with firebug ...
Hi everyone, I love firebug, but I get annoyed by the fact that when using "inspect mode" I cannot (i) place the mouse over the element I am interested in and then (ii) move the mouse to the firebug pane without firebug tracking my mouse movements while on my way there. What happens is that, between the moment I place my mouse over the ...
I noticed that the source code shown in Firefox appears to be incomplete. I have the latest version. When using the Firebug plugin to look at a webpage, I am able to find elements which are simply not recognized by Firefox. This is for a automated script I am working on. I am wondering several things: Why is a firefox plugin able to...
Is it possible to (perhaps with Firebug) or some other method to select ALL your contacts in ONE GO when creating an event on Facebook? How? ...
Here's my current workflow for editing CSS: Me: "Hey guys, take a look at this page!" Guys: "Try making the post titles bigger" Right click on a post title, choose "inspect" (to inspect it in firebug) Find the appropriate CSS statement in Firebug (h2.post_title or something) Modify the CSS in Firebug, ask friends how it looks If it loo...
There is Firebug AddOn - "Inline Code Finder", but it doesn't show how many bytes! Do you know any tool doing it? ...
Sometimes some text shows larger than what I expect because the font size in em is based on its parent and the parent on its parent. I would like to see as a visual cue in Firebug or Web developer instead of going up the tree manually to figure out which parent was the cause of the an expected font size. What I am saying I know what is ...
I've inherited a pile of code that's doing unexpected things when I click on some <button> elements. The page has a lot of Javascript, and it's unclear what, if any, events have been setup on the button or its parent elements. I'm trying to find where execution starts so I can debug what's going on. Is there a way to have Firebug (o...
Hi All, Is anyone aware of any plugin/addon for IE that enables you to change the CSS (locally) for specific websites (In my case - Goo***), to make them look nicer? ...
I have an object I need to examine in IE8. I tried the developer tools and console.log, their Firebug equivalent. However, when I output the object to the log: console.log("Element: ", element); console.log(element); I only get the string LOG: Element: [object Object] instead of a clickable, examinable dump. Is it possible to dump...
I am debugging someone else's web page. There is a link on it which tries to open itself in a popup window, the reason for this is unclear -- there is nothing obvious in the HTML (onclick=foo) to cause this. Disabling JavaScript means the link opens normally. I have Firefox/Firebug/Dom Inspector and would like to trap whatever JavaScrip...
Hi everyone, When I am using Firebug in "inspect mode" and the mouse hovers over an html table element, the visible content of my table is highlighted in blue -- like all other elements I have looked at using Firefox. However, there is also an area immediately below the table (past the last row) that gets highlighted in yellow. Does any...
So I do quite a lot of CSS development, and I work with Firefox / Firebug A LOT. I generally know how to debug for IE6/IE7 (as far as techniques) and if I have the source, I can easily just edit the actual files and run a local server on a linux machine and test it in IE, going back and forth until it's fixed. I find myself lately being...
I'm currently designing a website and just realized it would help me a lot if I would know my own cursor coordinates. I mostly use Firefox for previewing the new page. So an add-on for Firefox would be great. I checked out Firebug, but didn't find the feature there. Does anyone know how to show the current cursor coordinates in Firefo...
I'm trying to dissect some well designed sites, in order to learn more about unobtrusive JS. One problem I am experiencing is that one technique for unobtrusive/graceful degradation seems to be loading a base HTML page and heavily modifying/appending elements with JS. It would be good if there was a tool where I could just selectively l...
Is there a way to inspect/spy elements in a web browser like firebug does when we move the mouse over the webpage? How to to it in c#?? EDIT: Actually I just want to get the HTML source code from the tagged element. Best regards. ...
